  1. 1. Yes. There are nano-technology options in chemical engineering, but the question is, is what availability of jobs will you have if you a Nano-Technology Specialist haha. My advice to you would be to talk to a local university, community or private, it doesn't really matter, and schedule a tour. Many colleges host undergraduate meetings to recruit students, and ask a Chemical Engineering Admin or BioMed admin about it, because they likely have had experience with a company in R&D or can point you to a professor or faculty that has relevant knowledge. 2. Yes. Certain petroleum companies such as Chevron, Chesapeake, and others hire Chemical Engineers to chemically explore wells etc. But the thing you have to understand is that Chemical Engineering itself covers a very large spectrum of studies. Anything from Biomedical engineering to electrochemical engineering can be categorized as Chemical Engineering. And within that, there reasonably obtainable R&D careers. 3. As I previously said, Chemical Engineering covers a large spectrum, and many of them are perpetually necessary, so yes, there will be many jobs from now. But whether or not there will be an abundance of jobs related to Nano-Research, i couldnt say. But yes, if you majored in chemical engineering, and optioned into, say Biomedical, or Biotechnology, i could garuntee that there would be available jobs in six years. (Excluding WWIII, Zombie Apocalypses, etc... )
  2. I want to build a computer, for gaming, but i dont need anything that is gunna run 500 fps on ultra high graphics xD I just want something that will run smoothly while playing World of Warcraft or similar games, and if anyone knows about the new game Rift coming out, i want to be able to run it smoothly. I know a little bit about computer hardware, but nothing at all about the programming, so if anyone knows anywhere that can help me, thats be great. I know a website called ibuypower.com but i was wondering if anyone knows of something a bit cheaper.
  3. Ive heard the celery takes more energy to digest than it gives, yes, no?
  4. Well, Thanks to you both. Im not very versed in the subject and just wanted to hear the explanations of someone who is Those were all just things i have heard. I would love it if someone could show me the documents or such of amino acids found on asteroids and nebula.
  5. Thank you. Would there be a way to do this all through the brain if not the nervous system itself?
  6. Thanks I should've put this in there but i wonder what process the body uses to take energy from fat. If I am correct in assuming that fat is just energy stored in cells that was not needed?
  7. Now, before we begin, I would like to say that I am not proposing any other theory, but that i believe there has to be another way. Please, no arguments, but debates, using reason, facts and evidences. I am inclined to believe that life was formed by another way than the theory of evolution. The bottom line issue that i have with the very basis of evolution is that, even if an amino acid were formed under all the right conditions, which the likely-hood of ONE being formed is very small (That you cannot deny, it may be true, no one has ever proven it can be done without premeditated planning, but also, no one has ever dis proven it either), it takes more than one amino acid to create a living organism, so the probability that all these amino acids (each having a very low probability of coming into existence in the first place), all coming together in the same place is phenomenally low. But I will concide, that given enough time, something with a probability of 1/10^999,999 power of happening, may still happen, however unlikely. Next, if evolution works by natural selection, many creatures today would not be able to exist. Such as the giraffe, by the time it could have evolved the sponge-like apparatus that is needed to bend its neck to drink, every one of them would be dead, or going further back, the reason it would need a longer neck in the first place, to collect food, if there were continuous droughts, or whatever brought along the change, the change itself would be much much slower than the event that occurred to make it happen. Or the bombardier beetle, the chemicals it uses would kill it before natural selection would have a chance to use it. Next, the mutation selection theory, the odds of a gene mutation happening are 1 in 10 million cell divisions, and the odds of 2 happening to one cell are one in 100 trillion. With the vast majority of mutations doing nothing, some being harmful, and many others fatal. The chances that it is to the benefit of the creature is very slim. And finally on this topic, never once, has a mutation been observed to create new DNA by which an organism could evolve. Lastly, as for the common ancestor theory, evidence has shown that instead of a cone-like depiction of creatures, starting from few and spreading to many, that it is more of a inverted cone, starting from many and becoming fewer. These are my thoughts on the subject, I know of no other method by which life could have started, but i believe that there are to many holes in evolution, they may be filled in at some point, but as for now, it is to flawed for me to wholeheartedly accept. I would appriciate it if you would peacefully- give me your thoughts, and constructive criticisms on my own thoughts.
  8. Well, im somewhat skeptical on the theory of the Big Bang, because by everything i have heard, seen, or read, the gravity at the time everything were to explode outward would be so inconceivably vast that nothing could cause that to happen. Thoughts please.
  9. First of all, I would love it, if someone could explain to me the process by which the body burns calories. And as a matter-of-fact, I dont really know what it even means to "Burn Calories". Is burning calories, an actual unit being removed, or is it the amount of energy it takes to complete an action? I basically need a whole entire lesson on this, because I know nothing of it. And that brings me to the question I mean to ask. Can you by means of a natural or man-made substance increase the rate by which your body burns calories?
  10. OK. As I am new to the subject, I have very little to no knowledge of it what so ever. I wish to know several things as follows: how do the senses, sight, touch, taste, smell, hearing function; how do they travel along the nervous system to the brain; how does the brain interpret these signals (if there is a term for them I would like to know that as well); can they be stimulated into producing false sensations by artificial stimuli; and lastly, if the answer to the last question be yes, as i know hallucinogens do something similar, can the effects be controlled, thus being able to create images, smells and so on, at the will of the user. I am not asking weather we can control what a hallucinogen depicts to the user, but weather by some other form of stimulus can we create false sensations, for example, to make someone see, and smell a flower that is not there. On another note, when i speculate on this, it seems to me that if we were trying to induce a false image on someone, it would be possible to use their own memories to create something, if we knew what triggered the event that brings memory to awareness. Your thoughts on this? If you have anything you think might be helpful e-mail me king_o_queens3@hotmail.co.uk
